Chapter 16 – The Demon Lord Kulse Has Descended! #2
After looking for a while, I was able to find a decent place. Of course, I was very nervous and scared during the search. I didn’t know where a beast-like monster would come out and kill me.
When I saw it, this middle-earth remote area seemed more dangerous than the demon realm. Actually, I didn’t leave the duchy, so I’m not sure.
ㅡEvil.
ㅡEvil.
Anyway, I started digging the bit hole right away.
“Fuck.”
But again, there is no shovel! The only tool I had was a hatchet! Actually, I did bring a shovel, but it was in my backpack. Because of its size, I couldn’t fit it in my pocket. Anyway, there has never been a moment in my life where I needed a shovel as desperately as I do now.
Digging with a hatchet was, frankly, better than bare hands.
But where in the world is there a man who wages war with his bare hands! Everyone else is shooting guns, but this feeling of fighting alone with a hatchet!
“Kwaaaaagh…!”
It was insanely hard!
But I had no choice but to sell it. Because there was no hiding place. I took off my coat, left the dog behind, and dug with all my might.
ㅡSweet!
ㅡSass!
“Whoa…!”
However, doing so was also difficult. Now I am alone There is no one to guard the surroundings instead of me. It was really hard for me to dig the ground by myself and even keep the boundaries.
So damn anxious
ㅡPeruk!
While digging, look around. Only then does work efficiency drop. Even if I just focused on digging, it would take me a year to complete the beat, but I had to do it all by myself.
ㅡFood Duck!
“Ugh!”
Screams burst out!
“Fuck you!”
I also couldn’t adapt to the flying beasts popping out in the middle! It’s a shock that makes your heart burst…! Really! At a time like this, it would be nice to have one or two subordinates!
Now that he is the Demon King, he started at the starting point, but there was really nothing.
That’s too bad.
Anyway.
For several hours.
Shaking with anxiety, sweating profusely while digging the ground.
“I dug everything…!”
I finally succeeded in digging a suitable pit to my satisfaction!
“Great.”
In fact, I will have to dig more than this, but now the sun is about to set. In the current situation, if it gets dark, I can’t do anything. Die. The darkness of the forest takes away all light.
Even if it’s a little uncomfortable, it’s better to hit Shimai at this point and go inside. Even if it’s uncomfortable, let’s endure it for a day. I’ll dig more tomorrow.
ㅡPay!
There is no time to be immersed in the feeling that you have succeeded. I immediately jumped out and collected the long branches and large leaves around me. By making the roof of the bit pit with them.
“Complete.”
The concept of entry is to jump, but I couldn’t do that, so I crawled in normally.
ㅡSmoothly.
Feeling like a snake… After putting all my body into such a narrow bit.
“…!”
Thrill.
A shudder… Covers the whole body!
“Oh, oh…!”
I immediately shoved my fist into my mouth as I was about to burst into joy! A voice of excitement flows out! Now! Now I am in my lair! It’s so reassuring!
It feels like being back in my mother’s womb…!
“Yes, here you go.”
This is my demon castle, you bastards.
Originally, it all starts like this. Purple. Didn’t you properly build the Demon Castle? You just have to start from here and develop. I can do it. Didn’t you find water and dig bits today?
You can do it.
You can do it.
By constantly repeating it, you erase the anxiety that surges through you. The joy of success was short-lived. Soon it was completely dark outside, and the darkness gave me even greater fear.
ㅡ…
Because they are demons, their night vision is brighter than when they were human.
That was the only comfort.
“Anyway.”
I lost all strength in my body. I immediately opened the canteen and drank waterhaha…Now. I found the water source. There is also a hiding place. When the sun rises tomorrow, make some kindling lights. Let’s improve the bit cave.
“The demon king is a piece of shit. It’ll be a relief if the damn thing doesn’t search tomorrow.”
I want to see Karti.
No.
This is not the time.
I lay down, cut it, and straightened my posture. It’s uncomfortable because it’s narrow, but I take the best posture. Anyway… I’m nervous right now. I can’t sleep right away because of my anxiety.
“Then you should train your magic.”
I want to practice black magic by reading a black magic book, but I can’t because it’s dark right now. Naturally, the only thing that could be done was to use the mana that could be taken in such an immobile posture.
The more magic power is used, the more the senses open up. The same is true for moving and operating mana within the body. It consumes mana in the process. To recover again. That is the basis of magic training.
Repeatedly, there are times when the maximum amount of magical power increases. It was what Karti told me about, and I am now seeing a weak effect.
“Whoa…”
Inhale and exhale slowly, focusing on your inner self. The entrance to the bit is well covered with a lid… But be prepared to escape at any time. Remembering it in your mind.
I used magic.
ㅡ…
Mana moves from place to place within the body. It is felt. And the mana consumed along with the movement became weak black smoke that was no match for the size of a rat and seeps out of my skin.
ㅡSaaaaa.
Because of the smoke, the narrow bit cave is filled with the energy of evil magic. It was really weak, but I felt relieved for some reason because there was such energy around me. Is this because your name is a demon?
And so the day in Middle-earth passed.
* *
“I’m sleepy.”
I was so anxious that I couldn’t sleep properly.
I couldn’t stop imagining that some big hand would suddenly come in and break my neck.
And the incomprehensible screams resounding in the night seemed to gnaw at my spirit. Have. I’m not sure if it’s a forest or a jungle, but there are definitely some strong monsters in this backcountry.
Because of those pups, I couldn’t live in fear. Could this be the signifier suffering from movie phobia? These are the true devil’s tears.
“But why are there no bugs?”
But to my surprise, I couldn’t find any bugs during the night. Worms in the forest. When it comes to bugs, isn’t it a forest again? Even when I was in the army, when I trained in the mountains, bugs were fucking swarming around. Mosquitoes were especially plentiful.
But not a single bite was taken.
Are there no mosquitoes here in Middle-earth? Other than that, did you see a lot of things like flying insects while exploring? What a strange thing. Whatever it is, it’s a good thing. I wish I hadn’t been bitten by mosquitoes.
“Could it be that I’m a demon, so I’m choreographing?”
Then it’s honey.
For the first time in my life since I was born as a fucking demon, I thought it was honey.
“Great.”
So let’s start today’s routine!
ㅡchwak.
Immediately after using the water in the water bottle, he simply washed his face and picked up the hatchet. What to do today is simple. Repairing bits and… Finding something to eat.
“Fuck.”
I ate only water yesterday.
So damn hungry
If you are hungry, you cannot recover your magic power. Whatever it is, you must eat it. The fruit I gathered yesterday is still intact, but I can’t eat it yet.
“Hunt.”
I have to hunt.
“Monsters.”
Just yesterday, I saw a lot of small monsters while moving. A bird-like guy with all kinds of colorful feathers and crests. A lizard the size of a dog and stuff like that.
Whatever it is, let’s start hunting. I decided to do some bit compensation.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
With that thought in mind, I moved forward.
ㅡPercussion!
He did not forget to mark the trees with his hatchet as he went. The surroundings are so dense that I can never memorize the road after seeing it for a day or two. It must be unconditionally marked.
ㅡPercussion!
ㅡPercussion!
If I film a documentary of myself like this now, I’m sure it will resonate all over the world. I almost 100% guarantee this. Or you can vlog right now. Demon King’s Vlog. If you take a picture and upload it to YouTube, 1 million subscribers will just take it as a fuck.
ㅡEvil.
If I don’t even think about this, I can’t live in fear…!
It was when I was making my way through the vines while making a mark like that.
“…Quek.”
Cake? Go, no!
ㅡPay!
At the sudden sound, I threw myself toward the bush and quickly lowered my stance…! A sound came! It’s the sound of a living creature!
Can I use it for hunting?!
Or am I being hunted?
It’s the extreme Lee Ji Seon! Finally, this day has come! Whatever the fuck today, one of them is going to rummage!
“…!”
Grab the hatchet and monitor the surroundings. Read geographic features He improvises an escape plan, and decides to immediately drop the hatchet when the odds seem high. Arm your mind with that thought. I’ve never done anything like this, but now I have to! Must!
Come.
Come…!
ㅡThump… Throb!
ㅡThumping pounding!
I’m looking around.
“Kek… Keg Geuk…”
The sound is more detailed.
I listened again.
“Kekkeuk… Kuk…”
Like.
Sounds like everything is dying.
Could it be a wounded monster?
The sound is small. No. Just because it has a low voice doesn’t guarantee that the monster is small, but right now it seemed to be standing still in one place and making that painful noise all by itself.
“…”
ㅡGulp.
The saliva goes to the temple.
Shall I check? Shall we go and see what?
Take a risk?
“…That’s how it should be.”
It’s the same anyway. Take a risk here or not. Hunted and killed Whether you starve to death because you can’t hunt. It’s all the same whether you can’t overcome hunger, eat poison and die. I don’t even have a rat. There’s nothing. Such an existence is unconditionally stable. Even if you act cautiously, there is nothing you can do about it. The only way to progress is to take risks and make bold choices.
So let’s check.
ㅡSue.
Slowly.
Walk very slowly
Where the sound comes from.
ㅡEvil.
When I carefully inspected the scene through the bushes like that.
“Uh?”
I got to see
“Keruk… Keruk…”
A kid lying down with a wound… No?! Aren’t you a fucking kid?! What was lying there was some kind of fucking, inhuman little guy with a rotten green skin!
That’s all, a small person with the face of an old inspiration!!!
A hooked nose like a witch!!!!!
“Go, Goblin!”
No other words came to mind!
Something like that!
